BURIED IN ICE
FROZEN GROTTO COLLAPSES. THE UNLUCKY THIRTEEN. Frees Association —By Telegraph—Copyright PARIS, August 20. (Received Aug. 21, at 11.20 p.m.) Three tourists were buried alive in ■thousands of tons of ice at St. Pierre d’Albigny, in the Department of Savice, through the collapse of an ice grotto which was one of the sights of the district. The cave is situated in a ravine in which the snow from the surrounding heighits of the alpine foothills is frozen during the winter into enormous masses of ice which does not thaw even in the hottest summer. A party of IS entered the cave, and when the roof collapsed a woman and two men were entombed behind an ice wall many feet thick. One body has been recovered, and the ice is being dynamited to release the others.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
